The combination of a solitary pelvic kidney and an abdominal aortic aneurysm is extremely rare. We demonstrate a chimney graft implant in a patient with a solitary pelvic kidney. A 63-year-old man was diagnosed with an abdominal aortic aneurysm found incidentally. Preoperative computed tomography illustrated a fusiform abdominal aortic aneurysm accompanying a solitary ectopic kidney in the pelvis with an aberrant renal artery. A bifurcated endograft was implanted, and a covered stent graft was placed into the renal artery using the chimney technique. Good patency of the chimney graft was documented with early postoperative and first month scans. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of the chimney technique used for a solitary pelvic kidney.
